Grumpy man cinderella stamp features faux barcode

As I continue working through mail received last week, I thought you might enjoy seeing this creation from Adanaland’s Alan B. The uncaptioned design features a caricature of a grumpy man.

As you can see, the checkerboard pattern along the right edge of the stamp is not a genuine barcode, only an imitation, but the finished product is obviously inspired by recent barcoded United Kingdom stamps.

So far as I know, Alan is not using this cinderella on any outgoing mail, but keep an eye open; you never know where one might turn up!
